SCOLMA membership rates

SCOLMA membership rates 

In 2022 SCOLMA moved to an individual membership scheme. This reflects the agreement between SCOLMA and the International African Institute (IAI) to merge their two journals African Research and Documentation (ARD) and Africa Bibliography (AB) respectively. The first issue of Africa Bibliography, Research and Documentation (ABRD) was published both online and in print in October 2022.

ABRD is published annually, with the ability to publish articles online ahead of print throughout the year.

Cambridge University Press (CUP) publish ABRD on behalf of IAI and issue details can be found on the CUP website https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/africa-bibliography-research-and-documentation. For SCOLMA members, access to ABRD and all back issues of ARD is available at a substantial discount as part of the SCOLMA individual membership subscription.
